PEARS cau be yours 
Many folks still do not believe that pears can be grown in the North. How- 
ever, we do have hardy pears that you can grow easily. Pears will do well in 
sod in your own yard. They do not take much room and are quite orna- 
mental. Be sure to plant two kinds for cross pollinating and you will have 
loads of fruit.

A juicy, sweet and flavorful pear recommended for southern Minnesota and 
other regions with a similar or milder climate. 
Prof. H. L. Lantz, of Iowa State College says: ““This Patten pear as grown 
at Charles City, Iowa, has never blighted and has been productive and vig- 
orous. The fruit is of good size, resembles Bartlett in form, very tender, 
juicy and good quality; season is September.”

A Minnesota developed variety with fruit the size 
of Seckel, excellent for eating or canning. Fruit

blight, the tree is a heavy annual cropper. Hardy 
as a Duchess apple, it can be raised wherever 
Duchess can be grown. ‘103-05 PARKER kok*k
